Check the waves at Clarkes Beach

A beautiful spot to relax, Clarkes Beach – Byron Bay

Catching a few morning rollers is the best way to start the day, so check Clarkes Beach if you’ve brought your board and are keen for a few waves. This spot delivers a mostly mellow wave and is pretty sheltered from the wind, making it the ideal spot for a morning dip. Beware as there are no lifeguards patrolling this beach, so make sure you only go in if you’re confident. If not, take a paddle in the gorgeous blue water and lay on the beach with a book in hand.
